Presumably there is some level of [mildness / accidentalness of misconduct ] and [strength of response] at which the correct community response is to say “that response seems a bit too strong for the level of misconduct”—do you disagree? If that’s the case I don’t think it’s that helpful to claim that it’s generically bad to ever say that you think a response is too strong—it has to depend on the specifics of a case.
